We are a small family-run business based in Edinburgh, led by myself, John, and my wife, Claire, alongside our smashing wee team of Simona, Sarah, Marc, Lindsay, and Annabel.

Having grown up in Yorkshire and the North of England, I was brought up with a strong brew pretty much from birth and that is where I got my passion for tea. I developed a love for strong, flavourful brews and so I made sure our Breakfast tea is full of flavour too and can handle milk. Yep, I’m one of those who enjoys milk in my tea but here at Shibui we don’t judge. That is the beauty of tea - you can enjoy it however you like.

We work hard to help the environment as much as we can and are proud to say that we are members of 1% for the Planet and give back 1% of our sales to environmental charities. Our products are made from materials which can be either composted or recycled. While we’re not perfect, we are committed to improving and are therefore constantly evolving.

If you have any queries at all, then drop us a wee line. We’ll try our best to help with any questions as long as they aren’t about coffee…
